Curalate vs. Sampler

It is very well suited for scheduling Instagram posts, and tagging products from our eCommerce site using Like2Buy. We are just about to start using another product of theirs. Very competitive pricing.

I have a skincare mini set and would like to partner with Sampler. However, they cannot come up with an immediate solution to suit my sampling needs. This means that their operations are sometimes limited by their current capacity. If the product is of small size, it seems that they are always ready for service.

• Very intuitive/easy to use. Interface is well-designed.
• Great content uploader with product tagging capabilities integrating Like2Buy.
• Great customer service! Our rep is very knowledgeable and attentive.

• The sampler provides great quality sample products with blazingly fast delivery, ensuring we can try various products whenever we want.
• I get to try new brands without wasting the whole product if I don't like using the product. So it is eco-friendly in that way by reducing chemical waste.
• It helps the professionals who are in business administration responsibility, to make a perfect and apt purchase, without any miss.
• One get to learn about a lot of new products, trying them and end up being loyal to the brand/product. So Sampler helps in establishing the necessary customer acquisition part for a new brand.

• Honestly, they are doing a great job, and I can't think of anything I could see them doing differently.

• The number of membership tiers should be increased so that users can select from a wider variety of monthly samples.
• Items that are popular quickly disappear.
• Item tracking could be improved. Emails are sometimes delayed/slow.

Hootsuite is great, but Curalate allows you to schedule videos, which is a huge advantage. The Like2Buy integration is also key.

The market for sample-type websites is very fluid. There are many companies that pop up one day, then all of a sudden disappear. Sampler has been around for multiple years and has kept the same business model. They're not perfect, but their longevity and their relaxed nature with reviews are why many like them. Whereas other sample and review outlets require customers to write reviews or have items that many customers simply do not want.

• Decent increase in web traffic via the Like2Buy functionality.
• Small increase in sales via Instagram posts featuring Like2Buy links.

• It allows me to learn about new products before I buy them
• It gives me confidence in purchasing products that I have already tried.
• I help companies to improve the experience and appearance of their products.
